An embodiment of the invention is illustrated; bers in the shaft 6prevent additional coins from by way of example, in the accompanyingdrawdropping into the shaft 6 when it is barred. ings in4which: A sleeveH is rotatably mounted on a pin 28.

Fig. 1 shows the machine in front elevation. Itis rotated by a spurwheel 24 driven by a second Fig. 2 is a cross section through the countig spurwheei 25 keyed on the shaft 26 of the roller shaft. ii. The shaft26 also carries a bevel wheel 21 Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-4 of Fig.2. driven by a second bevel wheel 28. This latter Fig. 4 is a section online 4-4 of Fig. 2. is shiztable on the shaft 29 and acted upon by a 30The machine comprises two inclined chutes 2 pring ill which maintainsthe two bevel wheels 30 open at their upper end and provided with feed21. 28 m h Th shaft 19 s riven by n clined shaft 5 extends from eachshaft 4 and leads When this magnet is currentless the spring 30 to avertical shaft 6 (Fig. 2), The shaft 5 can be presses the bevel wheel 28into mesh with the hermore it is necessary to prevent more thantransmission 37 or the like drives a pap roll 38 a. predetermined numberof (301115 from dropping slipped onto a vertical shaft 38 The napeuninto the shai't 6. For this purpose barring memwound from this paperroll is guided, by two guide hers are provided both in the, shaft 4 andalso funnels 40 between the pile of coins and the miier in the, upperpart of the shaft 6. These barring and wraps round the pile oi coins.The projecting theyare connected in a circuit, pull curved blockblades 4i mounted on the roller i5. Twc shearing ing members 8 biased by springs9, out or the members 42 (Fig. 3) sever the paper strip after shafts byattracting armatures 10 connected with a predeternuned number oirevolutions by the the barring members. The coins then drop i'reeclosing0! an electric circuit current when the coin piles have been wrapped,the switching over is attained by the attraction of the armature oi thelever 35 by the electromagnet 36 so that the bevel wheel 28 isdisengaged from the. bevel wheel 21. The pile of and the roller to astandstill. The pile of coins is ejected from the winding device by thedepressing of a key Q3. The key lifts the pile at one side so that itstrikes against the flap i2 and drops into a trough M,

A counting mechanism may be provided for the individual shafts, and abell signal or an incandescent lamp can also be operated when a coinpile has been wrapped.
